Qiming 1158

Chapter 784 Do you really want to meddle in Xia's internal affairs, Su Yonglin?
Due to various considerations, Su Yonglin had to make his own commitment to this matter.

"If Ren Dejing really has any thoughts on the throne of the Xia Kingdom and dares to usurp, I will never let him go."

Su Yonglin finally said what Li Lirong wanted to hear. Li Lirong was overjoyed after hearing it, and kowtowed repeatedly to thank Su Yonglin.

Su Yonglin didn't say anything more, and sent someone to arrange Li Lirong to go down to rest.

After Li Lirong went down to rest, Su Yonglin paced back and forth in the study alone, thinking for a while.

After a while, Su Yonglin made a decision, and then started to send orders to Su Haisheng, who was guarding Guanzhong, to prepare him and the Qilu Corps.

This time, Su Yonglin decided to play big.

He doesn't want to continue to be controlled by changes, and he can't take the initiative to be approached by changes. He has to take the initiative, turn changes into plans, execute his will, and put an end to all this.

Do you think I don't have the time to beat you up when I'm repairing the Yellow River?

But don't take yourself too seriously.

Xixia is a small country!
Su Yonglin decided to solve the Xixia problem completely this time.

Of course, in order to completely solve this matter, a person's help is necessary.

Lin Jingchun.

Su Yonglin did not ask anyone to call Lin Jingchun, but went to the Ministry of Finance to find Lin Jingchun in person.

When Lin Jingchun saw Su Yonglin coming to the Ministry of Finance in person, he was not excited by the officials outside.

However, Su Yonglin was so fast that he directly blocked Lin Jingchun in the office.

Lin Jingchun was quite helpless.

"Aron, what do you want to do?"

"Don't you know what I want to do?"

When Su Yonglin faced Lin Jingchun alone, he didn't have the air of an emperor at all, and sat beside Lin Jingchun with a smile, causing Lin Jingchun to feel very bad.

"Alang, let me first say yes. If you want money or not, you need a life. If you think my life is worth a lot, wash me and tie it up, pull it out and sell it, and see how much money I can get back."

Su Yonglin quickly shook his head.

"What are you talking about? I'm the emperor of Daming, not a bandit. How can I sell my ministers to make money? The emperor must pay attention to the name and the name of the teacher to make money.

"What name?"

"I'm going to fight Xixia."

"Playing Xixia?!"

Lin Jingchun's eyes widened, and he jumped up like a cat with fried fur: "Alang, I just finished fighting the grasslands and cleaned up the two tribes. Now a lot of money is waiting for me to give money. Want to fight Xixia? Although the country is big, it is warlike and perpetually perished, but you said this!"

Su Yonglin quickly stood up to comfort him and let him sit down again.

"Where am I fighting? This is a last resort."

Then Su Yonglin told Lin Jingchun what happened in Xixia.

"That's what happened. The interior of Xixia has reached this point, and Ren Dejing no longer wants to hide his ambitions. He has tested me many times, and tested my thoughts and determination. If I can't hit it head on, the Xixia coup is just around the corner. .

Xixia is a vassal state of Daming. If Daming does not respond to Xixia's changes, cannot stop it, and cannot interfere, the surrounding enemies will know that we can't do anything because of repairing the Yellow River, and then they will intensify their efforts.

So this is why I have to attack the grassland no matter what, and also the reason why I have to send troops to Xixia no matter what. Daming must remain strong, so that the younger generation will not dare to move, and the war will not happen to the maximum extent, so that we can repair with peace of mind. Yellow River. "

Su Yonglin's explanation made Lin Jingchun silent for a while.

"But Alang, you don't know our financial situation. There are too many places to spend money, and you even feel that you can't make ends meet. If you continue, it will be very dangerous."

"So don't you always have some money saved for a rainy day?"

"I've already used it when I hit the grasslands before!"

"Don't lie to me, it's only half the time spent on the grasslands, I know, and such a large amount of seizures can be made up sooner or later."

Su Yonglin blinked, revealing a mysterious smile.

Lin Jingchun immediately put his hand on his forehead.

"I worked so hard to save some money, why is it so difficult, why are you staring at my money... What's wrong with having this skill?"

"I also work hard for state affairs. When did I ask you for money because of personal affairs? Right?"

Su Yonglin stroked Lin Jingchun's back with a smile, giving him comfort.

Lin Jingchun couldn't resist Su Yonglin's request in the end, so he could only nod his head in agreement, took out the last bit of his family background and handed it over to Su Yonglin, and then seriously said to him - there is really no more, not a single drop is left, if there is anything else, I will Don't care.

That's natural.

However, if Bingfa Xixia doesn't get the money back, then Su Yonglin loses this battle.

This time, when the troops are sent to Xixia, he will teach Ren Dejing a lesson no matter what, and if the plan goes smoothly before that, Ren Dejing will also teach the ruling class of Xixia a lesson.

At that time, it will be soft to make money.

On the fourth day after the order was sent, it was also the second day after Li Lirong resigned to Su Yonglin and returned to return to his order, Ren Dejing's messenger, Ren Degong, came.

Because he had met before, this time Ren Degong was quite familiar. After coming here, he not only asked to see Su Yonglin, but also went to visit senior officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Such as Zhao Zuoliang, such as Xin Qiji, such as Kong Zheng, such as Huo Jianbai, such as Lin Jingchun.

His plan seems to be to visit these high-ranking officials to inquire about the recent movements of the Ming Dynasty, and vaguely mention Ren Dejing's plan to see if he can get the support of these high-ranking officials.

If he can get the support of these high-ranking officials, it should be a good thing to win Su Yonglin's support with their help.

He thought so.

He did meet the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, and these high-ranking officials received him, welcomed him into the mansion, accepted his gifts, and then joked with him about the past and present.

Then he vaguely proposed Ren Dejing's status in Xixia and his next plans, but these senior officials of the Ming Dynasty did not make any substantive statements.

Either he was talking about him, or he pretended not to understand, or someone from the family came up and interrupted and said that there was an urgent matter for them to do.

Especially Lin Jingchun, who was expressionless and not very enthusiastic at first, became very enthusiastic immediately after receiving his gift list, and also provided Ren Degong with fruits.

But when Ren Degong vaguely stated the purpose of his visit this time, Lin Jingchun's servant suddenly rushed in and told Lin Jingchun that his favorite dog was stung by a wild bee, and it would be impossible to see it.

Lin Jingchun was shocked on the spot, and ran to the backyard before he could say anything to Ren Degong.

Ren Degong waited for an hour for an old housekeeper to come, saying that Lin Jingchun was in a trance because of the loss of his dog, and he asked Ren Degong to visit again another day.

Ren Degong left Lin Jingchun's mansion with a confused look.

In this way, Ren Degong visited seven high-ranking officials, but no one gave him clear support, which made Ren Degong feel that it was more difficult for him to succeed in this mission.

What does Ming Dynasty mean?

With such an uneasy mood, Ren Degong was received by Su Yonglin.

In Su Yonglin's study room where he handles government affairs, Ren Degong met Su Yonglin again and presented him with a gift from Ren Dejing.

It's still the same way, giving copper and cattle and sheep, the number is more than before, Su Yonglin accepts it with a smile - just kidding, Ming Dynasty is so short of money now, why don't you want money?
"Ren Xianggong is still so polite, just come and give away so many things, oh, why am I so embarrassed?"

Su Yonglin said this with a smile, but he was not polite at all. He accepted the gift list and read it happily, feeling that the gift list should make Lin Jingchun's face less wrinkled.

"It's not worth mentioning a mere gift. How can His Majesty's kindness to Xia Guo be repaid with such a meager gift?"

Seeing Su Yonglin so happy, Ren Degong agreed.

Su Yonglin didn't understand why he was kind to Xi Xia, but it didn't matter, what he got was the most real thing. If he was willing to give it, he would take it himself, and he wouldn't lose a piece of meat.

"Then I'll accept it. Remember to tell Xianggong Ren when you go back. I'm very grateful to him."

"I can't be thankful for Your Majesty, this is what foreign ministers should do."

Ren Degong looked up at Su Yonglin's face, and felt a little relieved.

Su Yonglin read the gift list, put the gift list aside, and looked at Ren Degong.

"Ceremony is a good thing, I'm very happy, but I've heard a lot about your family's Prime Minister Ren recently."

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"I heard that your family's Prime Minister Ren is building a palace in Lingzhou City?"

"Does your Majesty know?"

"What is known to all women and children in the Xia country, can I still not know?"

Su Yonglin said with a serious face: "To build a palace, only emperors and princes can do it. It is for the palace and the palace. Ren Dejing is only the prime minister of Xixia, so why should he build a palace for himself? I don't understand this very well. ."

Ren Degong felt a little bit in his heart, feeling that something was wrong.

Although Li Renxiao called Su Yonglin a subject and called himself a king, he still called himself an emperor in Xixia. He felt that Su Yonglin must know this, and most of the time he turned a blind eye.

The identity of Ren Dejing, the king of Chu, was conferred by Li Renxiao, but since Li Renxiao was canonized as the king of Xixia by Su Yonglin, he was also a king in legal terms, and was not qualified to confer other kings, at most a marquis.

The title of King Ren Dejing of Chu would definitely not be recognized in the Ming Dynasty.

Su Yonglin had never mentioned this matter before, why did he suddenly mention it now?
Ren Degong was a little surprised, but not without a way to deal with it.

"This matter is actually a long story, because Duke Ren's title is, yes, the King of Chu..."

"Absurd, when did I ennoble Ren Dejing as king?"

"This... This is the canonization of the Xia Kingdom..."

"The ruler of the Xia Kingdom is nothing but a prince. If he wants to be named, he can only be named a marquis. How can he be named a king?"

Su Yonglin's tone gradually became severe, which was not good in Ren Degong's opinion.

"Your Majesty, this matter... This matter happened before Your Majesty ascended the throne. At that time, the lord of our country was still the emperor's name, so..."

"emperor?"

Su Yonglin frowned: "I remember that before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, your Xia Kingdom was a vassal state of the Jin Kingdom, and it was also canonized by the Jin Kingdom. It is not an official emperor. Where does the power to be a king come from?"

"This this……"

Ren Degong suddenly didn't know what to say.

This matter is a matter of everyone turning one eye and closing one eye. It is a matter of being a minister on the open face, and being the emperor behind closed doors. How to seal it or how to seal it, Shangguo generally doesn't care, as long as you If you don't know the provocation on the face, you can do whatever you want.

This is how the Jin Kingdom treats other vassal states.

However, Su Yonglin's behavior directly broke the core spirit of the tributary system, which was inhumane to outsiders.

If you do this, do you, Su Yonglin, really want to interfere in Xia's internal affairs and exercise your suzerainty?
